Bangladesh

The suspension of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan triggered an unsettling experience for foreign cricketers. Bangladesh leg-spinner Rishad Hossain, along with his overseas counterparts, was evacuated from Pakistan to the UAE, as fear and anxiety swept through the players. The unfolding crisis revealed the human side of international sports, with several cricketers, including notable names like Daryl Mitchell and Tom Curran, expressing their distress.

In a significant move reshaping regional trade logistics, India has revoked a key transshipment facility granted to Bangladesh, halting the movement of third-country cargo through the Petrapole Land Port. The decision comes despite a sharp 46% increase in transshipment cargo volume between fiscal years 2023–24 and 2024–25. While bilateral trade through Petrapole continues uninterrupted, the suspension impacts Bangladesh’s export supply chains—particularly for high-value garments destined for Europe and the U.S.

India has officially revoked the trans-shipment facility that allowed export cargo from Bangladesh to third countries to pass through Indian land customs stations (LCSs) en route to ports and airports. Initially introduced in 2020, this arrangement was designed to ease Bangladesh's trade flow with neighboring countries like Nepal, Bhutan, and Myanmar.
